i made a mistake

Riverstone is interested in cooperating with the Displaced to learn more about the people who brought us here. They figured out who I was when I put in the paperwork to change my name back. Apparently, I'm still on the UN's most wanted list, but someone prevented the UN from acting to bring me into custody. 

I don't know who, and neither does Riverstone — in fact, they asked me about it.

But they know that I'm one of the Displaced, which actually explains a few things. I've been working for Riverstone for months. After I went to Everest, I was gone a bit longer than the rest of us, well beyond El's coverage. They gave me back my job anyway. I don't think this was news to them. If you ask me, that's a sign they're not out to get us, but I realize not everyone will agree there.

Now they want to talk to all of us, or as many of us as are interested. Riverstone is offering to pay travel expenses in New Beijing for one week for anyone who wants to undergo observation and testing of their power, and who's willing to answer some questions. I know that sounds scary. I know scary. The UNA had me in custody for some time, running "tests." But Riverstone claims that what they're offering is different, that we'll preview everything first.

Before you decide, I should mention ... they think they might know something about who's been dropping us off. In return for our cooperation, they're willing to exchange that information. 

I'm not telling anyone what to do, and no one else should try to do that either. But if follow (this) link, you can register your information with the Riverstone employees in charge of this, and they'll reach out to you to arrange the trip.

yeah
it did
it was a little over ten years ago and the annoying son of a bitch is still running around clogging up shower drains with his hair, so
careful what you wish for

[Bellamy can read the affection in that even without tone to go off of, so it's automatic to bring up Octavia.]

One of those friends Rey thinks is being held somewhere is my little sister.

[righteously]

How long she been gone?

[jettisons]

Months. Here and gone before I even showed up.

[righteously]

Jesus
I'm sorry

People like to act like the ones who go missing go home
You believe that?

[jettisons]

Clarke says all the evidence we have points to it.

[And while that might be true, and he wants to believe her, he can't get the maybes out of his head.]

[righteously]

Doesn't exactly answer my question
What do you believe?

[jettisons]

I don't know what I believe. Everyone I've met who disappeared and came back remembers being home in between, but I don't have proof there aren't exceptions. Home's not exactly a picnic for us anyway.

[righteously]

Yeah, mine neither
What's the deal with your place?

[jettisons]

Radiation made the ground uninhabitable.

[Not a lot of nuance there, but that's the easiest way to explain without writing a novel.]

[righteously]

Bummer.

[ That's rough buddy. ]

[jettisons]

That's a word for it. We're thinking this place is the better option.
